absolutely fascinating and a well made programme

those guys back then we proper aviators with none of this laser guided missile business. How they scored numerous direct hits and with so many factors counting against them was amazing

It brought a genuine tear to my eye that one of the pilots passed away back in November before the programme could be aired

I doff my cap sir
